According to a recent leak from within Atlus, the release of Persona 6 is expected within the next three years. Speculation about the highly anticipated game has been rampant for some time, particularly during the 25th-anniversary celebration of the Persona series. Despite this, there has been little concrete evidence to confirm its existence, with numerous leaks and rumors clouding the issue. In the meantime, fans have been treated to a variety of spin-off titles and media, including the rumored Persona 5 Tactica and Persona 3 Reload, which were both leaked ahead of their official unveiling. The same leaker who revealed these titles has now shared information about the development and release of Persona 6.
According to a Twitter user, MbKKssTBhz5, who has shown knowledge of various aspects of Persona games in development at Atlus, the individual responsible for the leak appears to be Japanese. The leaker claims that the release of Persona 6 is not imminent as Atlus is currently focused on expanding the franchise globally through various means. The goal is to establish a wider audience before releasing the game in the upcoming three years. The leaker expresses hope that fans will support Atlus, as the team is working hard on the development of Persona 6. Additionally, they reveal that the spin-off projects are progressing smoothly, and more information will be released as soon as anything new is learned. Apart from Persona 6, the leaker also shared details about Persona 5 Tactica and a new Persona crossover game that will feature the casts of the first five games.
The upcoming crossover game, codenamed "Asa," is said to pay homage to the Persona series' history and is expected to be released in Q3 2024. The game is rumored to include cooperative elements and activities, as well as all the main characters from the Persona series. Moreover, the Persona 5 Tactica RPG is expected to feature additional characters from the P5 games, including Akechi and Yoshizawa as potential party members. However, it's important to note that this information is all speculation and may not be entirely accurate, so fans should approach it with caution. Additionally, rumors suggest that Persona 6 is currently in development.
